Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3597531A1] A flap system for driving a leading-edge flap between a retracted position and an extended position comprises a leading-edge flap, an actuator, a first fixed link (8), a second fixed link (18), a third fixed link (34), a first connecting link (24), a second connecting link (42) and an auxiliary link (48), wherein the first fixed link (8) comprises a first support joint (14) for rotatably supporting the first fixed link (8) on a first structurally fixed point (10), wherein the second fixed link (18) comprises a second support joint (22) for rotatably supporting the second fixed link (18) on a second structurally fixed point (20), wherein the third fixed link (34) comprises a third support joint (38) for rotatably supporting the third fixed link (34) on a third structurally fixed point, wherein the first fixed link (8) comprises a first connecting joint coupled with an end of the first connecting link (24), which is coupled with a first flap joint at another end, wherein the second fixed link (18) comprises a second connecting joint rotatably coupled with a central region of the first connecting link (24), wherein the third fixed link (34) comprises a third connecting joint rotatably coupled with an end of the second connecting link (42), which is coupled with a second flap joint (44) at another end, wherein the second connecting link (42) is coupled with the first fixed link (8) through the auxiliary link (48), each at positions inside of the respective ends, and wherein the fixed links, the connecting links and the auxiliary link (48) are arranged to actively place the leading-edge slat from a retracted position into an extended position.
